Blockchain-based digital rights management systems: Design principles for the music industry

Analyzing the music industry, the paper proposes design principles for blockchain-based DRM that deliver transparent licensing, consistent and complete rights metadata, and efficient transparent royalty payout - by storing metadata on a public ledger, validating it via consensus on a permissioned chain, and enforcing payouts via stablecoin smart contracts.
